The dream of becoming a doctor has come true for Odisha’s 19-year-old student Subham Sabar, who worked as a labourer in Bengaluru to support his family. He cracked the NEET UG exams and secured admission to the MBBS course at MKCG Medical College and Hospital.
Sabar, who hails from a poor family in Mudulidhiah village in Khurda district in Odisha, was overjoyed when his teacher Basudev Moharana informed him that he had cleared the entrance exams for the MBBS course, reported PTI. He ranked 18,212 in the scheduled tribe category.
“Recently, while working at the construction site in Bengaluru, I got a call from my teacher who asked me to distribute sweets. I was surprised and asked him about the reason. He smiled and informed me that I had cracked the NEET exams. It was like a dream come true. I could not hold my tears and returned home the next day with due permission of the contractor who engaged me in the work,” Sabar told PTI.
During his three months of work, the student earned Rs 45,000, saving Rs 25,000 to support his family. He went to Bengaluru as a migrant worker because “there was no alternative but to support my family.”
“I hail from a very poor family of five. As the NEET exam was over, I decided to earn some money to support my family. I contacted a local contractor who sent me to Bengaluru. The savings I made helped me get admission to the medical college,” he said.
Initially aspiring to become a police officer, Sabar shifted his goal to becoming a doctor while preparing for higher studies. He now aims to fulfil his dream of serving the people of Odisha.
His parents, Sahadeb and Rangi, hope the government will provide financial support for his five-year MBBS course. “Since childhood, he has been very labourious and meritorious. He wanted to become a doctor. His hard work guaranteed the success,” said his mother, Rangi.
